This year, you are very busy keeping up with your classes, working a part-time job, and meeting new friends. You sometimes feel overwhelmed by everything you have to do. You often feel like there are just not enough hours in the day. Although you have tried staying up very late to finish homework, you have noticed you are not able to do your best work exhausted. You keep getting sick, which makes it even harder to work effectively. Your school counselor suggested some strategies you could use to manage the stress you are experiencing. She suggested you try some new time-management strategies, such as creating a schedule, taking on fewer commitments, and reducing the time you spend on social media. She also suggested trying some relaxation exercises, such as deep breathing. You do not know if these approaches will work, but you may as well give them a try.
